Hawaiian Restaurants in Kihei, HI

“Great food, fantastic atmosphere, fabulous staff“

“The staff is super nice! I think the spam musubi is over-rated/over-hyped. The rice to meat ratio is completely off, i.e. you're eating a mouthful of rice and a tiny bit of spam. Also, it's $4, whereas at 7-11 it's only $1.99! The kalbi ribs are super tasty, but for a $50 entree, it's on the high side.“

“Mahalo! Nice to meet you. It was amazing!“

“Wonderful service, delicious food, some of the best food service and ambience on the island. The Wagyu lettuce wraps were so so good! And our waiter was the most nice and friendly person I wish I remembered her name. What a great team and such amazing food. Also, just wanted to give a shout out to TARA FRASQUILLO for going above and beyond.“

“The fish tacos are hands down so delicious. Mango salsa takes it to a whole different level. The flavors were so so good this coming from my mom who loves to eat fish tacos everywhere she can. She said it's in her top 2 choices of fish tacos. I had the mahi mahi grilled with lemon butter and white rice it was delicious as well but next time I'm getting the fish tacos.“

“We used the swim-up bar to enjoy some cocktails. I wanted to give a shout-out to the lady and man bartenders working on Friday, Dec 12 evening who was really nice, warm and friendly. Sorry I didn't get their names. They kept the snack mix refilled and created a funny, warm atmosphere.“

“Staff is great, never had a bad experience. Food is really good, mahalo to the cooks, it's a what you pay for situation and it's a lot better than what would be considered acceptable and the price is right. There's indoor and outdoor seating and it's in beautiful kihei so no complaints. Keep in mind, not all L & L's are created equal and we have the best food of all the ones on the island here in kihei.“

“Service was fantastic. Very quick and attentive service. Highly recommended“

“Absolutely incredible dinner. Best mai tai we had and the tempura pink snapper WOW- life changing! Please make it a regular on the menu!!!“

“Wanted a nice meal at their restaurant & they put us in a tight table. I asked the hostess to please move us as there was a huge plant crowding Jon & almost getting into his face. The hostess retorted sarcastically, "we can move the plant.". How's that for keeping a patron happy 🤣 Tommy Bahama“

“Food so delicious everyone friendly ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“The entire team at the chef‘s table was wonderful. From the selections of the wine to the discussions with all of the chefs, made it a very fun time. The food was great, and the interactions was over the top great. Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Maui. A wonderful experience.“

“The seasoning on the fish n chips was delicious! Service is fast and staff is great! I had cod fish n chips and my husband had Ono grilled fish tacos with sliced cabbage and sauce was amazing“

“We went to a local place for lunch that had great reviews and were very disappointed. Came across this amazing food truck and randomly ordered a few things……ended up coming back not even an hour later to order more. Great portions, food was so good! Made to order and so yummy! The wasabi cream sauce is 🤤🤤🤤 Give this truck a try! Best meal on Maui after a week of trying different local spots!“

“the folks are super nice and friendly! the crepe I tried-pineapple was delicious! fresh and flavorful!“

“This has become our favorite place to eat in Maui. We eat here every trip but this time we came back 3 times!! Two favorites, coconut shrimp with sweet potato fries AND the mahi mahi (I now prefer this over Paia Fish Market’s) it was so tender and the sauce served with it is out of this world!! I actually got and extra sauce when we left to eat with our steak the next day. It was that good!! The owner is the sweetest and her gift of creating delicious food is next level. Cannot wait to come back!“

“Amazing service, food, drinks and sunset views. Kai Bar is a hidden gem in Wailea located at the AC hotel. We came back on a second night because we had such an amazing experience and sunset views. I highly recommend the Chicken Katsu sandwich and the Kai sliders. The servers did such a wonderful job both nights.“

“Food, atmosphere, service was above and beyond. I was a little sketched about this place initially because wailea restaurants can be a hit or miss. But this one was by far my favorite on the island!! The food was beyond incredible and so reasonable. I had hands down the best drinks I’ve had in a while.. our server was super sweet, considerate, and amazingly insightful. I will be recommending this place to people who ask now — not to mention the vibe, and ocean view is to die for. Mahalo to the restaurant and your amazing team for this experience. I am still day dreaming about the food.“

“Wonderful little restaurant. My husband and I discovered this hidden gem while we were on our honeymoon and came back several times. Their menu is simple yet delicious and the malasadas... oh my. Can't go wrong with this spot. We witnessed several customers coming in just for the malasadas! Customer service is wonderful as the lovely lady who takes your order is very sweet. Definitely worth trying them out!“

“Amazing food! There is almost always a line but totally worth the wait.“

“We tried it on 01/20/2025 a few days after they opened. The service was excellent the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was awesome!! We enjoyed it!!“

“This was our first time dining here. The food was delicius, service top notch, and the ambiance in the restaurant was incredible. Gorgeous ocean views!“

“We stopped by recently while visiting the island and I am forever obsessed! The Hawaiian muffin and bread was amazing! I also love the bacon, egg and cheese stuffed roll! I definitely should have bought more goodies to bring back to Texas!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excelllent atmosphere, food & service.“

“What a beautiful hotel! I landed in Maui and had reservations for a different hotel. when I arrived the accommodations were terrible so I canceled that hotel and literally had no place to stay for 8 days! I went to the internet and found Maui Coast Hotel. Thankfully, they had just opened their new tower...and had a BEAUTIFUL 😍 ROOM with an ocean view available! The amenities were simply amazing and the staff was absoutely wonderful. The room..well...it was spectacular! We were the 1st to stay in that room. EVERYTHING WAS BRAND NEW! Beds and linnens were so comfy with extra pillows that were comfy! This property is literally just steps across the street where we had access to the most beautiful beach with the sofest sand and views of the neighboring islands. The food at Kiehi Cafe was great. I would highly recommend their grilled Mahi Mahi tacos and honestly their breakfasts were great too! Just walking distance to several other places including a food truck village! They had live music every night at tge poolside bar! Towels, covers for the lounges, sunscreen and pool toys were available for us to use! At every night they had Great bands at the bar! It was a magical stay. Their service was exceptional. Bikes you can ride with shuttle service 3mi from the hotel if you wanted to do something off property close by. I would highly recommend staying here if you are in Maui and hope to return soon! Thank You Maui Coast Hotel for making our stay wonderful. ❤️.“
